Report Summary:
Three UK, part of CKHH’s 3 Group Europe mobile telecoms business, had its merger with O2 UK blocked by the European Commission. That leaves Three UK’s strategy in pieces and with insufficient scale to continue longer term without significant strategic changes. This document presents some of the options for Three UK in 2017/18, and should be read alongside the new 3 Group Europe dossier by SCIm.
